Nahum 3:6-8

Revised Standard Version

⁶I will throw filth at you
    and treat you with contempt,
    and make you a gazingstock.
⁷And all who look on you will shrink from you and say,
Wasted is Nin′eveh; who will bemoan her?
    whence shall I seek comforters for her?^[a]

⁸Are you better than Thebes^[b]
    that sat by the Nile,
with water around her,
    her rampart a sea,
    and water her wall?
